We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay more. Communication was top tier and the house was amazingly clean. It had everything we needed and was perfect for relaxing family getaway. There is so much to see in the area and the location was perfectly centered for us.
Easy check in, quiet yet convenient location, great amenities. Having access to the garage to load/unload and park the vehicle was a plus. Would highly recommend.
The property and home are well kept; clean and cozy inside. Check in was simple and it was very nice to utilize the garage for parking. Communication was great too!Our family highly enjoyed our stay and everything we explored in the UP! Nina

About the host
Hosted by Max
I'm a retired Navy veteran who moved here in 2021 to enjoy the natural beauty, fresh air and wildlife. After five and a half years here full-time, it was time to pack my bags, again, for my next mission.
Why they chose this property
When I retired in 2021, I took a three-month road trip through more than 20 of my favorite states. I set out to experience the beauty and natural wonders of America in a way I never had time to for before, while also looking for my dream home, ideally a cabin in the wilderness. Long story short, as soon as I crossed the border into Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, I knew this was the place for me. It’s a lesser-known natural wonder, still something of a hidden gem. I was immediately struck by the beauty and tranquility of the forests, the countless inland lakes, and the waterfalls.
